What you should know about Sisterhood…

There’s no wrong way to be a member of our Sisterhood. Whether you have lots of free time or a life of “non-negotiable commitments”, there is a place for you in Sisterhood. Some members are just born volunteers and some would rather participate only in activities that interest them; still others prefer to pay dues and nothing further. Your membership is welcome at any level. Men may also show support of our Sisterhood by becoming associate members.

And as a dues-paying member of Sisterhood, you are part of the Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ), an international organization committed to ensuring the future of Progressive Judaism throughout the world.

WRJ reaches out to the larger community, standing at the forefront of social action, community services, and education.

WRJ has a collective voice that is strong and impactful.

WRJ provides funds for the training of Rabbis, Cantors, and Jewish Educators through the Y.E.S Fund.

WRJ donates to World Union for Progressive Judaism.

What is YES Fund?

Youth- NFTY, KESHER and Religious Action Center
Education- Rabbinic and Cantorial student scholarships
Service- Special programs supported by WRJ grants,
here, in Israel and throughout the world

Sisterhood is a place where women of all ages can come together; where there is mutual support. Sisterhood is where we can learn to grow as individuals, sharing talents and developing new skills. Together we are a caring community and fulfill the mitzvah of tikkun olam (repair of the world). Sisterhood offers a way for each woman to do her part to help ensure the future of Reform Judaism through our affiliation with WRJ. We are extending to you a personal hand of welcome. We’re asking you, “Won’t you join us!”
